HA£.R N£WS urn l Office of Executive Secretary- University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois April 1, 1938 PLAN ON COLUMBUS MEETING President Carl Menzer says the NAEB will hold a meeting in connection with the Ninth Institute for Education by Radio, held annually by Ohio State University, May 2-4. Already we have word from a number of members who have expressed their intentions of being in Columbus. KENTUCKY HILLS ARE CALLING Included with the packet material is a complete announcement regarding the radio meeting v/hich Elmer Sulzer is shouting about, so may we suggest you read it. ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCIES URGED How many NAEB members are planning to apply for one of these ultra-high frequencies which the Commission has recently set aside for exclusive use of educational broad¬ casters? There is little doubt that some may be overlooking points worthy of con¬ sideration. At any rate, here is the viewpoint of one of the Commissioners. H<9 says that much more oral broadcasting is certain to be done on the ultra-high frequencies. Furthermore, he believes that receiving sets are now carrying about everything that they can include in one receiving set when they cover the full range of frequencies. When television comes and they try to combine that and orai- broadcasting in one set, some of the oral frequencies will be dropped. He predicts that many sets will include the television bands and only high frequency oral bands If this is the case, we shall one day have many sets which cannot receive broad¬ cast from what is now our regular broadcast band. This Commissioner predicts that it will some day be possible to give state and national coverage by a combination of high frequency stations. A prominent radio attorney also feels that educational institutions should go into this field of broadcasting because this is where the broadcast band is going to be in the future. He believes that if educational stations do not take advantage of this opportunity they are going to be in the same position as they are today with respect to the possibility of obtaining adequate broadcast facilities. Now don’t you think it would be worthwhile for all of us to at least consider these ultra-high frequencies and perhaps do some experimentation with them? NO RADIO TAX AT THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS We have mentioned this proposal of Congressman Boylan to tax radio stations on a wattage basis. Now we can assure you that there is no reason for concern on the part of any NAEB member. The bill, as proposed by Congressman Boylan in the House, specifically exempts educational broadcasting stations. However, Chairman McNinch has indicated that he would look favorably upon an income from stations sufficient to pay for the operations of the Commission. It is not likely that anything will happen at this session of Congress, but it will be well for members to keep an eye open for what may develop later.
